UJobe 29
1 UJobe wasebuya ephakamisa isaga sakhe wathi:
Jobho akapfuurira mberi nokutaura kwake achiti:
2 Kungathi ngabe nginjengenyangeni zamandulo, njengensukwini uNkulunkulu angigcine ngazo,
“Haiwa ndinoshuva sei mwedzi yakapfuura, iwo mazuva andairindirwa naMwari,
3 lapho isibane sakhe sakhanya phezu kwekhanda lami; ngahamba emnyameni ngokukhanya kwakhe!
mwenje wake pawaivhenekera pamusoro pangu uye ndaivhenekerwa nechiedza chake ndichifamba murima!
4 Njengoba nganginjalo ensukwini zokuvuthwa kwami, lapho iseluleko sikaNkulunkulu sasiphezu kwethente lami,
Haiwa, iwo mazuva andakanga ndichine simba, ushamwari hwaMwari chaihwo huchiropafadza imba yangu,
5 lapho uSomandla wayeseselami, labantwana bami bengiphahlile,
Wamasimba Ose paakanga achineni uye vana vangu pavakanga vakandipoteredza,
6 lapho ngagezisa izinyathelo zami ngolaza, ledwala langithululela imifula yamafutha!
painyorovedzwa nzira yangu noruomba, uye dombo richindidururira hova dzamafuta omuorivhi.
7 Lapho ngaphuma ngaya esangweni ngidabula umuzi, ngalungisa isihlalo sami emdangeni;
“Pandakaenda kusuo reguta ndikandogara muchivara,
8 amajaha angibona, acatsha; lamaxhegu asukuma ema;
majaya akandiona akatsaukira parutivi uye vatana vakasimuka;
9 iziphathamandla zayekela ukukhuluma, zabeka isandla phezu komlomo wazo;
vakuru vakaramba kutaura vakafumbira miromo yavo namaoko avo;
10 ilizwi labakhulu lacatsha, lolimi lwabo lwanamathela elwangeni lwabo.
manzwi avakuru akanyararidzwa, uye ndimi dzavo dzikanamira kumusoro kwemiromo yavo.
11 Lapho indlebe isizwa yangibusisa, lelihlo libona langifakazela,
Vose vakandinzwa vakataura zvakanaka pamusoro pangu, uye vose vakandiona vakandirumbidza,
12 ngoba ngakhulula umyanga okhalayo, lentandane, longelamsizi.
nokuti ndakanunura varombo vaichemera rubatsiro, uye nherera dzakanga dzisina anobatsira.
13 Isibusiso sobhubhayo sehlele phezu kwami, njalo ngenza inhliziyo yomfelokazi ihlabele ngentokozo.
Munhu akanga ofa akandiropafadza; ndakaita kuti mwoyo wechirikadzi uimbe.
14 Ngembatha ukulunga, kwangembesa; isahlulelo sami saba njengesembatho lomqhele.
Ndakafuka kururama sechipfeko changu; kururamisira kwaiva nguo yangu nenguwani yangu.
15 Ngangingamehlo koyisiphofu, ngangizinyawo kusiqhuli.
Ndakanga ndiri meso kumapofu namakumbo kuzvirema.
16 Nganginguyise wabayanga, lendaba engingayaziyo ngayihlolisisa.
Ndakanga ndiri baba kuna vanoshayiwa; ndaimiririra mhaka yomutorwa.
17 Ngasengisephula umhlathi womubi, ngamenza alahle impango emazinyweni akhe.
Ndakavhuna meno emunhu akanga akaipa, ndikabvuta chaakanga akaruma.
18 Ngasengisithi: Ngizaphela lesidleke sami, ngandise insuku njengetshebetshebe.
“Ndakafunga kuti, ‘Ndichafira mumba mangu, mazuva angu awanda sejecha.
19 Impande zami zinabele emanzini, lamazolo alale ubusuku ogatsheni lwami.
Midzi yangu ichasvika kumvura, uye dova richava pamatavi angu usiku hwose.
20 Udumo lwami lutsha kimi, ledandili lami laguquka esandleni sami.
Kukudzwa kwangu kucharamba kuri kutsva pandiri, uta hucharamba huri hutsva muruoko rwangu.’
21 Bangilalela, belindele, bathulela iseluleko sami.
“Vanhu vakanditeerera vachitarisira kwazvo, vanyerere vakamirira kurayira kwangu.
22 Emva kwelizwi lami kabaphendulanga, lelizwi lami lathontela phezu kwabo.
Shure kwokutaura kwangu, ivo havana kuzotaurazve; mashoko angu akawira panzeve dzavo zvinyoronyoro.
23 Bangilindela njengezulu, lomlomo wabo bawukhamisela izulu lokucina.
Vakandimirira kunge vakamirira mvura yomupfunhambuya, uye vakanwa mashoko angu kunge mvura yechirimo.
24 Lapho ngibahlekela, kabakholwanga, lokukhanya kobuso bami kabakuwiselanga phansi.
Pandakanyemwerera kwavari havana kuzvitenda; chiedza chechiso changu chaikosha kwavari.
25 Ngakhetha indlela yabo ngahlala ngiyinhloko, ngahlala njengenkosi phakathi kweviyo, njengoduduza abalilayo.
Ndakavasarudzira nzira ini ndokugara saishe wavo; ndakagara samambo pakati pamauto ake; ndakanga ndakaita somunhu anonyaradza vanochema.
